I'd take a day off of work if 2 of them stayed in the draft. I'd quit my job and sail the 7 seas if they all three went pro. Glad to know Rick is sweating profusely !

Wow.....sure thought their Anus would declare. Sure fire lottery pick. Can't believe he would risk injury and play another year at UL

They will all probably be back as Pitino will do his best L1C4 speech to them and tell them they are not good enough to go to the NBA.

Just heard Pitino on Terry Meiners radio show say Mitchell will lose millions if he declares and is drafted 20-30. Says pretty sure they all come back next year.

Oh like Montrez Harrell? He said the same thing to him and he came back. Was quickly discovered as a fraud when they went to the ACC. He was a projected 1st rounder and wound up drafted in the 2nd round. No player should listen to Pitino

They suck and they are on a awful team with bad talent. If a GM takes them they better go now, I bet to god Mitchell won't get higher next year.

Lord I pray they go as I fear UL could be good if they return.

On a side note; where is the line in the draft where you encourage a kid to come back vs encouraging them to go?

Agree on Mahmoud. he impresses me with his length, shot blocking, passing and most of all, the improvement he has shown. If I were a GM , I would certainly risk a > 25 pick on him rather than Adel or even Mitchell . There are dozens of players with their skills and body type, Mahmoud, not so many.

Unless Mitchell grows another 3 inches, I'm not sure he's got much to gain. You could argue he could benefit from getting run at the point, but there's no promises or guarantees that he would boost his draft stock any by moving to point guard. Honestly, he probably benefits off of the unknown. GMs may say "I bet we could make him a point guard!" And take a shot at him. If he comes back and does run point, he runs the risk of it hurting his stock just as much as helping. IMO, and I think a lot of people's opinions, if you're projected too 25 you gotta go. Too much risk coming back.
Jaylen Johnson has no business testing the waters unless he's just looking for feedback. Adel has the measurables and athleticism to legitimately boost his stock by just working out. We shall see

It's absolutely amazing watching the way cal and pitino differ in handling these situations. Pitino is a selfish coach, which is why he doesn't win on the recruiting trail. Some at argue he gets who he wants, but who doesn't want 5 stars? He wants them, he just doesn't get them

Fact that they are aren't hiring agents screams they'll be back. Pitino is a selfish motha toucher. I actually am very surprised he didn't play Anderson.

Pitino told Mitchell if he isn't drafted 18 or better he should not go. He is doing all he can to hang on to him. Doesn't seem to care about what is best for Mitchell, but him. Pitino already building up how good they could be if all comes back.
